Network society
The term Network Society was coined by Jan van Dijk in his Dutch book 'De Netwerkmaatschappij' (1991) -translation: 'The Network Society' (1999, 2006)- and by Manuel Castells in the first part of his trilogy 'The Information Age' (1996). In 1978 James Martin used the related term 'The Wired Society' indicating a society that is connected by mass- and telecommunication networks.
